Michael Coleman
Lecturer
Professor Coleman's general area of expertise is rigid body dynamics, more specifically, vehicle, robotic, and animal locomotion. Most recently, he has been studying the dynamics and stability of human walking and brachiation (swinging from branch-to-branch) through the analysis of mechanical/mathematical models and the construction of physical models. He is also interested in the mechanics of downhill and cross-country skiing, skating, and various wheeled vehicles. Find out more...

Yves Dubief
Assistant Professor
Professor Dubief's areas of expertise are fluid mechanics, turbulence, incompressible and compressible flows, non-Newtonian flows, and numerical simulation. His research focuses on how vortices organize turbulence and how they can be controlled, and is expanding to include other flows where complexity happens at much smaller scales than turbulence.

Jane Hill
Assistant Professor
Professor Hill is director of the Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology Lab whose research seeks to measure, predict, and  in some cases  exploit the microbes that impact our health and environment. This research focuses on three areas: pathogen transport (in people, pipes, and the subsurface); nutrient cycling (organic phosphorus in water and watersheds); and biotechnology (biosensor development and enzyme discovery).

Jeff Laible
Professor
Professor Laible's areas of expertise are computational modeling in biomechanics, specifically spine mechanics and modeling of the intervetebral disc, a poroelastic, chemical, electical,and magnetic problem. His research also includes the computational modeling of environmental problems, specifically lake ocean and stream hydrodynamics and transport.

Mike Rosen
Clinical Associate Professor
Mike's interests and activities in biomedical engineering have generally focused at the whole-human scale with a particular emphasis on applied research and design of therapeutic and assistive technologies. He has done most of his published work in rehabilitation engineering, the subset of BME that focuses on understanding disability from an engineering perspective and development of new systems for treatment and enhancement of function. Most recently, Mike's projects have centered on the application of virtual reality methods to the assessment and training of drivers with disabilities; the application of telehealth technologies to remote rehabilitation service delivery; wearable wireless personalized control interfaces; and unobtrusive sensing of activities of daily living to monitor health status.
